Arson investigators are trying to find out who torched two buildings belonging to the East Valley Softball League in San Jose.

The league provides an alternative to the streets for many children in East San Jose. Families from the league said their equipment room and snack room, which is the league's main source of income, went up in flames on Monday.

Authorities said the blaze caused $18,000 in damages.

"I'm very saddened because everything is volunteer hours," said Victoria Garcia, a parent coach with the league. "There are a lot of people who work hard here that volunteer a lot of their hours."
